Coca-Cola Recalls 14 Million Liters of Soft Drinks in Austria Due to Metal Contamination

The recall affects popular brands like Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite, and MezzoMix, with potential health risks from metal pieces in specific batches.

The recall involves 0.5-liter PET bottles with a best-before date between February 4, 2025, and April 12, 2025, marked with the code 'WP'.
Coca-Cola advises consumers not to consume the affected products and offers refunds without a receipt.
The recall extends to several German states, including North Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria, as a precautionary measure.
A broken sieve during production is believed to have caused the potential metal contamination.
Disposal of the contaminated drinks poses a challenge, with options like biogas plants being considered to manage the environmental impact.
